NEW FOREST TIME

2025

Artist Residency
New Forest National Park and spudWORKS, Sway, UK




A project continuing my ongoing interest in place-specific time, mapping the local rhythms and temporalities of the Forest.

Starting with the question ‘What time is it in the Forest?’ I worked in collaboration with local communities to develop experimental clocks that explore experiences of time in the New Forest.

The science of circadian rhythms reveals how our bodies keep time in rhythm with our environment. This inspires an interest in the specific rhythms of our environment, and how we can connect biological and ecological temporalities. How can we entangle our rhythms with those of the forest? And what can we learn from forest time?
